Quotes[]
Emery: It's gonna be a great year. Now that Eddie's in high school, I'm gonna have middle school all to myself. My whole life, I haven't been able to stretch out my arms without hitting a brother. |
Jessica: No Booty Man! The hat goes! Ugh! Fine! Eddie: But the day I get my own apartment, I'm wearing this hat to sign the lease. Jessica: Great. Do that. Evan: This tension right here is why I took breakfast in my room. We should go. Don't want to be late to the bus on the first day. What's that on your face? Emery: It's an irritated clogged pore. Evan: Process your pimple on the move, brother. The bus waits for no one. |
Eddie: No one stops Booty Man. Nicole: Well, if I wasn't sure I liked girls before, this confirms it. |
Emery: Can you still see it? If anyone asks, I'm gonna say I nicked myself shaving. Evan: When the day comes, I'm going electric. That three-headed Norelco... It lifts, then it slices. Emery: Have a good first day. Evan? You're on the wrong bus. Evan: I'm not. I skipped 5th grade. I'm a middle schooler now. Emery: What?! Evan: After I inhaled the St. Orlando's summer reading list, I knew I was working way above my level. So, long story short, we called Principal Hunter, took a few tests, wrote an essay, bing, bang, boom, here we are. Emery: When were you gonna tell me? Evan: I wasn't. You know how our family doesn't like to talk about things. I thought maybe when we're 25, we'd be having Negronis, and I'd be like, "How about that time I skipped 5th grade and we never talked about it"? Emery: I see how it could've played out that way. Sure. |
Principal Hunter: [hugging Evan] There's my superstar! Lincoln Middle School's first ever grade skipper. Evan: Is this contact appropriate? |
Evan: Whoa. That was weird. Girls usually love you. Emery: That's never happened before. Maybe she didn't see me because she's blind. Principal Hunter: Who? Celeste? No, she has perfect vision. In the last yearbook under "likes," she wrote, "Boys, Spice Girls, and seeing perfectly." |
Eddie: Excuse me. Coming through. That's my girl in there. Football Player #53: This liar says that he's your boyfriend. You want me to put him in the trash? Alison: He is my boyfriend, but thanks. That's sweet. I'm gonna call an audible on that play? Football Player #53: Damn! This one's coming for our playbook. |
Eddie: Um, what did those idiot jocks want? Alison: They just wanted to say hi. I'll be playing the piccolo in marching band this year, so I'm getting to know the team. They seem nice. I got to get to class. Eddie: I'll save you a seat at lunch. Alison: Great! I told Number 53 he could sit with us, so try to get a big table and an end seat because his shoulders are so broad. |
Eddie: I want you to know I snuck this hat out and wore it. I know. Terrible. But I see the error of my ways. You were right. High school is serious, and to succeed, I need discipline, a strict dress code, and to keep my eye on the ball. Jessica: Okay... Eddie: Great. So we agree. I'm going out for the football team. Jessica: And get concussed? No way! Eddie: Mom, you have to sign this permission slip. Football is gonna be my thing in high school. Jessica: So find a different thing. Eddie: I can't! Alison's in the band, and she's gonna be spending a lot of time with the football team. I've got to be one of those guys. Jessica: This says the school's not liable in the event of a concussion... Spelled wrong, by the way... Loss of limb, or death. Eddie: Mom, Mom, Mom, you're looking at it all wrong. What if it goes well? That means college scholarship, NFL, tons of money! Jessica: You marry a white girl, become a Hertz pitchman, and then kill your wife because you lost your mind from all the concussions. No! I'm not letting my son become the next O.J. |
Eddie: What's up? I'm Eddie. The Booty Man. Maybe you've seen me in my hat around the halls? Max: I don't really notice other dudes, man. Eddie: Yeah, yeah. Cool, cool. Who would? Coach Janet Brody: Yes, I am a woman and a football coach. That's right. Your coach is a lady. Come on. Let's get it out of the way. Football Player: Are you on your period? Coach Janet Brody: Go run laps. Football Player: That's a yes. |
Emery: You're the reason things are going bad for me this year. Evan: What are you talking about? Emery: The only thing that's different at school is you. Suddenly, girls are rejecting me, the cafeteria ran out of green beans, somebody drew penises in all my textbooks... Evan: You think I would waste pencil lead on pornography? |
Evan: You got me kicked out of private school, no one believed you about Tiger Woods, we didn't get to see that big peanut, and there was that week where you thought clogs were unisex. Emery: Pinocchio wears them, and he's a real boy! |
Jessica: Louis, get a hold of yourself! You're spending a lot of energy worrying about small changes. Louis: But Cattleman's is already a great restaurant. Jessica: It is. So great that two music moguls wanted to put their name on it. You did that. So do it again. Imagine this pillow is Cattleman's. You're spending all your energy trying to make this pillow perfect when there could be pillows all over the bed. Cattleman's 2. Cattleman's 3. Cattleman's To-Go. Just look at Kenny Rogers. He is thinking big picture. He's not in there every day worrying about chicken. No, he's making love to Dolly Parton. Louis: You think? Jessica: Right now. |
Eddie: I'm sorry. It's just Alison, when I saw you talking to those football players, I got worried that you might not like me anymore if I wasn't on the team. But I didn't make the cut, so I paid Max to pretend to be me. Alison: Unbelievable. Jessica: I'm gonna go make sure that poor boy's okay and get back the money you paid him. Alison: You didn't give me very much credit, thinking I would immediately ditch you for a football player. Eddie: I know. I messed up. Alison: Maybe it's a good time for a fresh start. Eddie: Are you breaking up with me? Alison: I'm sorry, Eddie. |
Jessica: Louis, this is important. Our son was almost concussed. Louis: But he wasn't. Eddie is fine. It's the restaurant I built from the ground up that's dying a death by a thousand cuts. Jessica: We talked about this with the pillows! Why are you still wasting so much energy? Eddie: Excuse me. May I come in for a glass of water? Jessica: No. Your dehumidifier is full. Drink that. [to Louis] I thought I could take a step back once he was in high school, but it's always gonna be something with him. Eddie: That's how I feel about Cattleman's. I can't quit caring for it, no matter how much I try. Jessica: Cattleman's is your Eddie. A pain in the ass, always on the brink of disaster, but you will never stop fighting for it, because it's your first. Louis: That's it! That's exactly it! Jessica: Well, why didn't you just say that? You need to march back in there and save your baby from being concussed before you rip off its helmet and see a boy you don't even recognize. Louis: When I get done with that place, it'll be called Louis Huang's Kenny Rogers' Michael Bolton's Cattleman's Ranch! Jessica: The name is too long. Louis: I know. |
Louis: This restaurant is my dream, Matthew, and that dream started with me buying this bear at the estate sale of a game hunter who shot himself cleaning his gun. I built this place. I mean, not from the ground up, it used to be a strip club. But I took it over, thoroughly sanitized it, and I made it what it is today. |
Evan: [to Emery] You know, I was thinking, up until now, you've led a pretty charmed life. So your bad is basically everyone else's normal. |
